Adjust Position

3. FORWARD AND BACK

This refers to two aspects of placement at the organ:

  • the position of the BENCH, and
  • the position of the “PERSON.”

BENCH
First, set the bench in the optimum forward-back position to allow both leg support and clearance of the sharps.

PERSON
Then sit far enough forward to allow pivoting to reach either end of the pedal board and to allow the right foot to set flat on the swell pedal, yet far enough back to allow toes to clear the sharps easily when crossing feet.
